You know those notes from Jaws? Da Duh............. those! The notes that signal, well they say SHARK! Whenever we hear The Sharktank, that's the musical score that plays in our minds.

The Space Between

2011-12-28T04:50:00.000-06:00

It's that time of year, in the space between Christmas and New Years when things always get a little crazy. While those around us continue celebrating, playing with new toys (for the big and little kids) and eat a little more candy----

Here at Tom Paule Photography, the name of the game is to get ready for 2012. We have so many clients we're carrying forward from past years in the corporate world that we appreciate, many new clients both corporate and sports---- and of course we're getting ready for a busy January of teams and tournaments.

Hope your 'space between' is filled with fun!

Merry Christmas from Tom Paule Photography

We hope your Christmas is absolutely wonderful!

Chrismas Program

2011-12-23T03:26:00.001-06:00

One of the best things about being a parent during the Christmas season is the joy that comes from watching the kids in Christmas programs--- it's the best!

My kids Emily and Evan did a great job and had a wonderful time with their friends and classmates.

They're waiting for Santa none too patiently!

It is always a blessing to be reminded what this season is all about!

Santa? We're ready for you!

Holiday Magic at Children's Hospital with the Blues

2011-12-21T03:30:00.001-06:00

We love to give back all the time but this time of year, well it is more magical in so many ways.

Recently we had the opportunity to photograph kids and their families at Children's Hospital and some of the St. Louis Blues stopped by to spend some time with the kids.

The kids were GREAT, we enjoyed them all! It was also fun to hang out with Alex Steen, Ian Cole, Barrett Jackman and T.J. Oshie! Thanks to the Blues for helping us make a difference for some kids in need.

The Year is Winding Down

2011-12-19T04:44:00.003-06:00

Around Tom Paule Photography the year is winding down, we have lots to deliver to clients for the holidays and are enjoying the many vendors and clients stopping by the studio to say hello and bring by holiday goodies!

The most exciting thing is looking forward to 2012 and knowing there are so many great things happening! January will be a full on sports month and we're looking forward to seeing your team then, and in the coming year.

We do have a few slots open in the schedule for sports teams and tournaments so please give us a call soon to schedule your team!

Holiday Happenings in St. Louis

2011-12-02T12:46:00.000-06:00

SO many great things for families to do in St. Louis this time of year, choosing among them is always difficult!

How about skating at Steinberg Ice Rink in Forest Park? Open daily for skating now and throughout the holidays with skate rental and a cafe for special treats!

FOX Sports Midwest will host the second annual St. Louis Classic at Steinberg Skating Rink in Forest Park on Saturday, Dec. 17. The St. Louis Classic is a giant outdoor viewing party for a St. Louis Blues road game. Hockey fans will watch the Blues road game at Nashville on a 35-foot screen, while skating with Forest Park as the backdrop.

How about skating at the practice home of the St. Louis Blues at the Ice Zone? Check the schedule to see when they're hosting open skates or be lucky enough to find a time when the Blues are practicing.

Maybe a free movie this weekend with benefits for a great cause?The annual Cans Film Festival is Saturday, December 3, 2011. Bring 5 cans of food to any Wehrenberg Theatre and you can see a movie for free before 5 p.m. If you bring an additional 10 cans (15 total), you'll also get a second pass to see a free movie on another day. All of the food collected goes to the Salvation Army food pantries.

Also happening tomorrow is Breakfast with Santa at St. Joe Manchester. It's a great PTO fundraiser so stop by and see Tom and enjoy the holiday fun!

TPP Aerial View: Chaminade Arts Building

2011-11-30T14:05:00.001-06:00

The new Chaminade Arts building is completed and beautiful! We recently shot it from the air (above).

From STLToday:

"The 79,000-square-foot center is named for Albert "Skip" Viragh, a 1959 graduate and mutual fund innovator who died in 2003 of pancreatic cancer. After his death, his family acted on his wish to give back to Chaminade - the Catholic boys school off South Lindbergh Boulevard that Viragh's two brothers also attended.

The family asked the Rev. Ralph Siefert, president of the school, about his dreams for the school.
The answer was obvious. An arts center had been Siefert's dream for more than a decade.
Theater performances for years had been inside the middle school gym. Parents watched from metal chairs as students performed in front of a torn blue curtain. Band practices were held in cramped rooms with low ceilings.

Viragh's family gave Siefert money to hire an architect for a new arts center. What followed was more unexpected: $28 million to build and endow the facility. It was the largest single gift to a grade or high school in the region.

"It's unspeakable," Siefert said. "I had a dream, but I never thought it would be fulfilled like this."

Mitch Albom in STL

2011-11-29T04:52:00.001-06:00

Recently Mitch Albom spent some time with fans here in St. Louis and we had the opportunity to photograph the event.

He was speaking at the invitation of the Young President's Organization and everyone in attendance really enjoyed listening to him.

His movie Have a Little Faith aired on ABC last Sunday night and ABC says they will run it again sometime this season.

Above, the exterior of The Ethical Society which hosted the event.

Mitch Albom's current book is "Have A Little Faith", if you haven't read it we recommend it very highly!

Happy Thanksgiving from Tom Paule Photography

2011-11-24T02:53:00.000-06:00

Full Swing Fall

2011-11-18T04:02:00.002-06:00

The gorgeous colors of fall are for the most part gone but we think that the fall season lasts until Thanksgiving (which is almost upon us!). The gardens are put to bed and the snow melt needs to be purchased!

While the fall family portraits have wrapped, it's time to think about holiday portraits we have a lot of great opportunities for traditional Christmas sets as well as more contemporary portraiture.

And we continue the busy sports of fall as we're happy to be photographing more hockey! (Can there ever be enough hockey? We think not!)

Whatever your fall photography needs Tom Paule Photography can fill the bill, please email or call 314.910.2215 for more information.

Hockey Season

2011-11-16T04:54:00.001-06:00

Holiday Happenings Around Town in November

2011-11-14T05:00:00.000-06:00

We love the St. Louis Zoo, it is one of the best in the country and we're so lucky to have it in our backyard! Boo In The Zoo is always a great time and was lots of fun this year. Right around the corner are some of our zoo highlights as well as other St. Louis traditions of the year:

Zootini 2011 presented by Macy's Saturday November 19th

Costume your inner beast at a party filled with creative cocktails, live entertainment by Fat Pocket and DJ Needles, a costume contest, raffle and game room! Attire is upscale hip with an animal flare. Costumes are suggested. Ages 21-and-up only.

Breakfast (and a dinner date) with Santa are coming up in December with plenty of opportunities for the kids to get up close and personal with the man in the red suit.

Then we always mark our calendar for the Holiday Lights at the Zoo------ so much fun to grab a cup of hot chocolate and maybe a bite and wander through the zoo during the holiday season.

The Missouri Botanical Garden begins off its holiday season with its "Gardenland Express" annual flower and train show. The display is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. November 24, 2010 - January 2, 2011

It's definitely time to get out the holiday calendars and start scheduling those can't miss opportunities to enjoy the season with family and friends in St. Louis!!!

Recently it was my privilege to photograph Building 51 at Jefferson Barracks, the Mental Health Clinic Expansion.

2011-10-21T05:14:00.000-05:00

The Cheshire Inn in St. Louis is a beautiful property--- a top notch hotel for visitors and locals alike.

The pool does not look nearly as inviting this cool fall week as it did on the day I photographed it but I know that soon enough that refreshing water will be a great idea!

Staying at The Cheshire is like experiencing the best of Great Britain right in the heart of the Midwest. Whether staying in one of our Themed Suites or our comfortable and uniquely appointed guest rooms, guests will experience a seamless blend of traditional touches and modern amenities.

Here's to you Katie and Tanner, may you have a wonderful life....

...happily ever after!

2011-10-17T04:52:00.001-05:00

It's always an honor to photograph a school and this one is one of St. Louis's newest.

The $21.4 million transformation of the old Beaux Arts Building and Pythius Hall into a charter school with science labs, classrooms and dance studios is nearly complete, with code inspectors scheduled to walk through the building next week.
And then Grand Center Arts Academy will move into the six-story building that had been largely vacant for more than two decades. Principal Lynne Glickert led members of the media through the building Wednesday, pointing out the visual art studios, theater classrooms, chemistry lab, rows of lockers and views of the city's arts district. (St. Louis Today)

The charter school, which opened last year in the Third Baptist Church across the street, is among several schools in the city dedicated to the arts. Central Visual and Performing Arts High, Carr Lane VPA Middle School, Ames VPA Elementary and Shaw VPA Elementary — all part of St. Louis Public Schools — are the others.

Last year, 200 sixth- and seventh-graders enrolled at Grand Center, Glickert said. This year, she is hoping for 400 seventh- through ninth-graders. The school, part of the Confluence Academy system, plans to add a grade each year through 12th grade.

Many of the original architectural details have been restored in the building at 711 North Grand Boulevard, which once served as headquarters for Carter Carburetor.

The renovation work was financed through loans and historic tax credits and was designed and developed by the Lawrence Group. The school will pay back the loan through its lease payments, with the option of buying the property after seven years, said Steve Smith, chief executive of the Lawrence Group.

Kori & Bill

2011-10-14T08:49:00.000-05:00

I had a great time photographing the wedding of Kori and Bill recently. They're an awesome couple --- thanks very much to the newlyweds for allowing me to save those special moments forever!

Let's Go Cards!

2011-10-13T09:22:00.000-05:00

It's exciting sports wise in St. Louis! The Blues have begun their season and the St. Louis Cardinals are heating up the post season as they hope to defeat the Brewers and move onto the World Series.

From everyone at Tom Paule Photography------

LET'S GO CARDS!!!

Family Computer Fun

2011-10-10T05:09:00.001-05:00

We're so fortunate to be able to photograph great kids whether as a part of a sports team or with their family at a portrait session. We also love fun computer games you can play with your kids or that they can safely entertain themselves with.

Have you seen Draw A Stickman? You've gotta' give it a try, so much fun!
(Click the link to play)

Fair warning: Adults at work will be just as enthralled with it as the kids!

Busy and Busier

2011-10-07T04:25:00.002-05:00

How busy are we here at Tom Paule Photography? Very. See the adult beverage above? We ALL need one (or three).

Youth soccer and lots of it, everywhere you look thanks to the great kids and families of Clayton Soccer and Central Christian School. We're hard at work getting these photos ready for everyone who placed an order.

Last weekend was the big opening at the Peabody Opera House, we'll be back soon with a look at the festivities.

Wedding Photography

2011-10-05T04:53:00.002-05:00

Yes, we are still taking weddings! Documenting brides and grooms and families on this very special day is high on our list of VIP (Very Important Photography).

Our open dates are closing rapidly so if you'd like to discuss having Tom Paule Photography photograph your wedding, please give us a call as soon as possible!

Data suggests that photographers are the second thing to be chosen on the list of wedding day requirements. First? The venue. Third? The DJ. Surprisingly choosing the wedding dress itself came in at 7th place on the list.

We've decided that perhaps the distant showing of the wedding dress's rank on the list was because so many brides plan their wedding out so far in advance. In doing so there are the Big Decisions to be made when the date is chosen and the dresses can all be tried on and decisions made when the date is closer.

Charities We Love: Wish Upon a Wedding

2011-10-04T09:15:00.000-05:00

There are so many GREAT charities locally in St. Louis to contribute to, be a part of, or volunteer for. One of the great national charities with a vibrant and compassionate local chapter is Wish Upon a Wedding.

Founder and Executive Director Liz Guthrie says "based on the concept that two people in love should never be denied the chance to marry their soul mate, Wish Upon a Wedding has helped dozens of couples say “I DO” since its launch in January 2010. Our organization provides this opportunity to those who have endured far greater challenges than many of us could possibly imagine. The idea to start a nonprofit wish granting organization came to me while I was producing a large scale wedding giveaway in San Francisco in 2009. Over 350 participants entered to win a contest where there could only be one winner. With so many couples in need, I found myself wishing there was a way to donate a dream wedding to more than just one deserving pair. One amazing bride-to-be who entered, in particular, stood out in my mind. Vanessa Muza Teskey was battling Stage IV Hodgkin’s Lymphoma while her fiance (an officer in the US Air Force) was deployed overseas. This couple ended up winning the Giveaway (through public voting) and their Love Story inspired the creation of Wish Upon a Wedding. Raised by parents that spent their spare time helping others, I learned early on the importance of community service. As a wedding planner with a background in nonprofit work, Wish Upon a Wedding now allows me to help people celebrate love, while encouraging those in my community to give selflessly to others. It’s a magical organization ~ One I hope you will join as we continue to make these special Wishes come true…"

Recently they issued a plea to help in the final stretch for making wedding dreams come true for selected couples facing a terminal illness. They're hosting a fabulous auction open through October 31 and have some really great things on their website.

From Wish Upon a Wedding: With less than four weeks to go, you can still help us make Wishes come true, AND score some amazing deals on everything needed to plan your wedding or event, by visiting Bid Your Wish for Wedded Bliss . This is the largest online charity wedding auction of its kind, with over 300 wedding-related items, many starting as low as $50!

Wish Upon a Wedding needs your help so we may continue granting these very special weddings for couples facing terminal illness and other serious life-altering circumstances. Stop by and check out what products and services have been donated by the country's top wedding professionals all in the name of charity... Everything from dinner with Randy Fenoli to a one on one session with industry great and celebrity planner Preston Bailey can be yours with the click of a mouse.

The auction closes on October 31st. You'll find what you're looking for here .

We add that if you are not looking for a wedding themed auction item you might want to consider a monetary donation to this great organization.

Coming Up This Weekend

2011-09-30T04:46:00.000-05:00

To begin with, can you believe that tomorrow is OCTOBER FIRST? How in the world did that happen, it seems as if the kids were just getting out of school for the summer and here it is Fall!

I've had the pleasure and privilege of photographing the 'old' Kiel Opera House, now the beautifully restored and magnificent Peabody Opera House--- and tomorrow is the Big Night---!!! It doesn't get much bigger than “An Encore 77 Years in the Making” starring singer Aretha Franklin and comedian Jay Leno, along with other special guests in a celebration of the beloved venue’s past, present and future. Proceeds from opening night will benefit the John L. Trotter Multiple Sclerosis Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.

I'm excited to be part of the festivities, something HUGE in the history of St. Louis!

Hard to believe the Peabody Opera House started here:

Let There Be Hockey

2011-09-23T04:22:00.001-05:00

The world of Tom Paule Photography is 100% Photos 100% of the time. But there is one thing that gets our attention as well as the attention of 90% of our staff. (we will not divulge the shameful non hockey spirit of that 10%!)

HOCKEY!

Let there be hockey------ Let's Go Blues!

Technically Loving It

2011-09-21T04:48:00.005-05:00

Technology has EXPLODED, the adage about information exponentially taking off and growing bigger and faster and MORE---- is so true. We're of course drawn to the photo apps---- and there are a ton of them!

Photo Cool-ness--- true photo coolness! If you haven't checked out these fun (and cheap if not free) photo apps for your phone (some iPod, some Android, some both)---- make your photos a little more spicy.

Go on, show us what you've got!

Hello Clayton!

2011-09-20T04:33:00.000-05:00

We're in the midst of a great time photographing Clayton Soccer----- and wanted to tell you all how much we appreciate the opportunity to photograph sports in St. Louis!

There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing someone to photograph your team and we take our involvement very seriously.

To photograph a sports team, particularly a youth sports team, means you document a very special time in the life of a young person, their friends and their family. This documentation means that the memories you produce last forever---- and should always elicit a smile, a fond memory, the ability to know what you were doing at that particular point in your life.

So, thanks Clayton! We appreciate you and look forward to many more occasions to come when we can say hi and make a memory!

Busy Busy Busy
